    I wanted to do this to my living room last year but when I looked on UA-cam the only ppl showing how to lay over carpet were using wood planking underneath. I wasn’t trying to spend that kind of money. I found you a couple weeks ago and your idea of using construction paper was genius!!!! My living room looks absolutely AMAZING!! I wish I could upload pics on here lol.

I did think of like... moving blankets or carpet matting etc but that was the best I could come up with, and obviously they're not 'hard' or smooth... this is freaking genius and now i have a great idea in using some old laminate i managed to score for free :D

    Can’t imagine this lasts long. I’d imagine it’s going to flex when you step on it and eventually lead to cracks/breaks. As much as I’d like to do this in my apartment(because I hate the carpet in here). I’d imagine I’d only be happy with doing this up until the inevitable cracking/breaking of the new floor

      I've had mixed results. I used cheap peel and stick vinyl from Walmart in one room and higher quality from Home Depot in the other. The home depot has cracked from foot traffic, the Walmart tolerates furniture being moved on it and has no cracks. The technique works, but thinner more flexible tile seems to be the best.

    You are genius. I was just sitting here trying to figure out how to cover my carpet in my rental since my landlord is taking a while to replace it. And you came up with an amazing idea and way of doing so. I have a one year old who plays on the floor a lot and drops food and spills as well. And this would make it so easy to clean up and remove when I decide to move out. I'm heading over to Amazon and Lowe's and checking prices on the flooring and poster boards. Thank you for this great way to transition my home.

    This is genius. I just purchased a house and the only thing I don't like is that it has beautiful carpet in the living room the hall and the bedrooms and I have a messy kid and pets . You saved me from spending about $400 on Amazon for carpet protector .this is the perfect low cost solution. Thank you !!!

    ONE ADDED TIP - Thank you very much for posting the helpful video!
    Just one tip to add - STAGGER THE PLANKS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Rather than laying the planks in a straight "square" or "rectangle", with all the planks ending in a straight line OR using the SAME random pattern throughout the installation (giving the final result a "stair step" or "H" pattern), randomize the layout (stagger the plank) as much as you can (unless you want a repeated pattern, of course). Staggering the planks will do three things: -- #1) Give the final structure of the installation more strength; #2) Give the final result a professional look; #3) Prevent the long straight-line seams that are formed in square or rectangle layouts from catching dirt over time, making them more noticeable. The labor itself won't be anymore difficult, it will just take a little more time in planning. There are many websites that give instructions on how to accomplish a totally randomized installation/layout. (Google "stagger vinyl plank flooring".)

    Oh, this is a good idea!
    I don't see this working as well for high pile carpets like how most rentals have them. But this is an excellent idea none the less.
    Might be seeing myself do this here soon, I'm going to look for a property with laminate. But some landlords do looooove their carpet. (As it screams, "Let me keep your whole ass $3000 deposit over a tiny stain")

    Always wonder if this affects the opening and closing of any door that opens over it. It would surely raise the level so that the door would catch on it unless there was a big gap under the door before.

      Hey! No, the tile was very thin and there was enough space between the door and floor. Transition slips are good to transition space
